7. that Christ, in the fullness of the blessings He has secured by His obedience unto death, is received by faith alone, and that the moment we trust in Him as our Savior we pass out of death into everlasting life, being justified from all things, accepted before the Father according to the measure of His acceptance, loved as He is loved, and having His place and portion, as linked to Him, and one with Him forever (John 5:24, 17:23; Acts 13:39; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:4-6; 1 John 4:17, 5:11-12).

8. that it is the privilege not only of some, but of all who are born again by the Spirit through faith in Christ as revealed in the Scriptures, to be assured of their salvation from the very day they take Him as their Savior; and that this assurance is not founded upon any fancied discovery of their own worthiness; but wholly upon the testimony of God in His written Word, exciting within His children filial love, gratitude, and obedience (Luke 10:20, 12:32; John 6:47; Romans 8:38; 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6-9; 2 Timothy 1:12; 1 John 5:13).

9. that all the Scriptures, from first to last, center about our Lord Jesus Christ, in His person and work, in His first and second coming, and hence that no chapter even of the Old Testament is properly read or understood until it leads to Him; and moreover, that all the Scriptures from first to last, including every chapter even of the Old Testament, were designed for our practical instruction (Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:39; Acts 17:2-3, 18:28, 26:22-23, 28:23; Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:11).

10. that the Church is composed of all who are united by the Holy Spirit to the risen and ascended Son of God, that by the same Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, and thus being members one of another, we are responsible to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, rising above all sectarian prejudices and denominational bigotry, and loving one another with a pure heart fervently (Matthew 16;16-18; Acts 2:32-47; Romans 12;5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 1:23; 4:3-10; Colossians 3:14-15).

11. that the Holy Spirit, not as an influence, but as a Divine Person, the source, and power of all acceptable Service and Worship, is our abiding Comforter and Helper, that He never takes His departure from the Church nor from the feeblest of saints, but is ever present to testify of Christ, seeking to occupy us with Him, and not with ourselves nor with our experiences (John 7:38-39, 14:16-17, 15:26, 16:13-14; Acts 1:8; Romans 8-9; Philippians 3:3).

12. that we are called with a holy calling to walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, and so to live in the Spirit that we should not fulfill the lusts of the flesh; but the flesh being still in us to the end of our earthly pilgrimage, needs to be kept constantly in subjection to Christ, or it will surely manifest its presence to the dishonor of His name (Romans 8:12-13, 13:14; Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:1-10; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 1 John 3:5-9).
